    Abstract

    Urban areas are expanding due to a combination of population growth and outward spread of urban activities. The result is that urban and rural areas are no longer seperate territories. The newly emerging 'peri-urban' areas are the site of the most dynamic changes. Peri-urban problems and opportunities are best adressed at the level of the rural-urban region, which includes both peri-urban and rural hinterland areas.
